Hi all,

Trying to catch on... my idea was that on first run (or when the config 
file is deleted), to detect if user is using a KDE Desktop, and if not, 
enable the "Force Breeze" option by default. However I have not yet found a 
simple reliable way to check that but should be possible. 

If you still encounter issues with icons on git master (missing icons, 
wrong colors, etc), please report the issues and tell me which Desktop 
environment you use (Gnome, etc) and which KDE Frameworks version you have 
- check for libkf5xmlgui package version.

By the way, adding a "Use dark color theme" to the Wizard seems a nice idea 
(I also plan to refactor the Wizard so that it only has one friendly page 
and no more annoying clicks to really start the app).
